Feedback

Just some feedback: I think the compound build is strange. I often use filter, must and should together and with the current syntax you have to nest it too much.

I think a syntax like this would be better:

var builder = SearchBuilders<T>.Search;

builder.Compound()
   .Must(a)
   .Must(b)
   .MustNot(c)
   .Filter(d)
   .Should(e)
   .Should(f)
   .MinimumShouldMatch(2);

or

var builder = SearchBuilders<T>.Search;

builder.Compound()
   .Must(a, b) // Params / IEnumerable
   .MustNot(c)
   .Filter(d)
   .Should(2, e, f);

Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider reworking this during the beta phase before we go GA and commit to retaining compatibility with an interface.
